Evart Public Schools

The Evart Public Schools district in Michigan consists of three schools: Evart Elementary School, Evart High School, and Evart Middle School. The district faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and potential equity issues.

Evart Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of white students (99.15%) and declining proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math. Evart High School has a more diverse student population but struggles with low academic performance, a high dropout rate, and a low graduation rate. Evart Middle School also shows declining proficiency rates and high chronic absenteeism.

Across the district, proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, and chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, particularly at the high school level. The district's resource allocation, with consistent per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggests a need to re-evaluate how resources are distributed to address the varying needs of its student population and improve academic outcomes.
